About the Game

Squad Zero is a squad-based role-playing sandbox game set in an open world, blending survival and strategy elements. The world is overrun by zombies, and you start as a solitary survivor. Danger lurks everywhere—the undead hunt the living, and remnants of civilization vie for resources and power. Form a squad, explore the land, gather resources, and build a base to survive. Along the way, you’ll encounter survivor camps—dynamic hubs for interaction, trade, and struggles for dominance.

Embark on a perilous journey through a world devastated by the zombie apocalypse. Abandoned cities, shadowy forests, ruined villages, and hidden shelters await—each holding its own secrets and challenges. Here, you can find weapons, resources, and potential allies, but ambushes, hordes of the undead, and hostile survivors are never far away. The world is open to exploration: choose your routes, decide where to venture first, and be prepared for both opportunities and deadly threats around every corner. Every step shapes your story—a story of survival in a world where the old rules no longer apply.

Gather food, wood, metal, and other essential resources, risking your life beyond the safety of your camp. Hunting, fishing, and scavenging abandoned buildings will help supply your squad with everything it needs. Every expedition could be your last, and without resources, there will be no weapons or defenses.

Construct and upgrade your camps, workshops, and fortifications, turning them into a secure refuge. Build walls to hold back the undead, craft weapons and gear in workshops and forges, and prepare storage areas so you don’t run out of supplies when you need them most.

Your choices shape your survival strategy: focus on defense to withstand waves of zombies, or prioritize production to equip your squad with food and weapons. Everything you gather and build becomes the foundation of your strength—and your only chance to survive in a world after the apocalypse.

Explore survivor bases—key locations where life continues even after the devastating apocalypse. In these camps, you can find safe shelter, trade gathered resources, meet new characters, and recruit members for your squad. Each base is unique: some are open to cooperation and trade, while others are suspicious and may see you as a threat. Alliances form, rivalries develop, and your choices directly affect your relationships with other survivors. By visiting these bases, you learn more about the world around you, unlock new opportunities for survival, and strengthen your squad’s position in an ever-changing environment.
